A representative for Seal, who has regularly appeared as a judge on the Australian version of The Voice, unequivocally denied the accusations, telling TMZ, "Seal vehemently denies the recent allegations made against him by a former neighbour for alleged misconduct more than a year ago. He intends to vigorously defend himself against these false allegations."

It comes as Seal slammed Oprah Winfrey on social media just days after her widely praised speech at the Golden Globe Awards on sexual misconduct in Hollywood, calling her a "part of the problem for decades", reports Fox News.

In a fiery Instagram post days after the awards show, Seal republished a pair of photos of Winfrey with disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, including one in which she appears to be kissing the producer's cheek.

"When you have been part of the problem for decades, but suddenly they all think you are the solution," Seal wrote.

Seal added a sarcastic comment to the right of the photographs that suggested Winfrey knew Weinstein was mistreating women.

"Oh I forgot, that's right ... you'd heard the rumours but you had no idea he was actually serially assaulting young starry-eyed actresses who in turn had no idea what they were getting into. My bad," the singer wrote.
